Chapter 50: A Thousand Miles of Embankment, Collapsed in a Hole

On the sea dragon hoard, according to the steep mountain, with a huge stone barrier to build the horse race, pheasant moats, piers, forts, inner and outer cities, a word city, city gates and other strict city defense facilities, solid as gold, conducive to long-term hold, but to defend, but to defend, it depends on the determination of the soldiers to fight to the death. Knowing that they will be defeated, where do these native soldiers get their iron will?

Liu Dadao's wheel warfare method is constantly destroying the will of the defenders, even if it is a long causeway, under the continuous erosion of the flood, it will be swallowed up little by little, unless you also continue to repair and consolidate your long causeway, but unfortunately there is no one on the sea dragon hoard at this time who can do this. Fear, worry, decadence, and frustration are like a nest of termites, constantly gnawing at their hearts.

The sound of the cannons hoarded by the sea dragon is continuous every day, and the sound of shouting and fighting is continuous, although it is attacking the mountain city, but the momentum is a little stronger than the defenders on the mountain.

In May, the weather was not yet hot, but at the end of May, it suddenly rained heavily, which brought certain difficulties to the Ming army's offensive. Many generals persuaded Liu Dadao to temporarily suspend the war, but Liu Dadao was unmoved, and the Ming army had to continue to attack the mountain despite the pouring rain.

The hillside was full of weeds, and it was nothing to be watered by the rain, but countless pairs of feet stepped on it, but they soon stepped on the slippery mud, and the warriors walked through it with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but they did not delay the siege.

Liu Dadao was still attacking the city in the rainstorm, although there was no progress in the siege itself, but this resolute attitude made the defenders' already wavering mental defense even more collapsed, and the matter has come to this point, who still does not understand that the army of the imperial court will want to seize the sea dragon hoard at all costs.

On June 4, the heavy rain that had been raining for several days suddenly stopped, the clouds subsided, the weather cleared, and a round of red sun jumped into the sky.

On this day, it was the turn of Liu Dadao's headquarters to attack the mountain. Ye Xiaotian expressed his concern, and also came around from the front mountain to cheer for him. Seeing that the weather was clear and a round of red sun was in the sky, Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered a book he had heard.

But Ye Xiaotian didn't know whether the story he heard could really be applied to the war, and the novelist said that there were too many exaggerations after all. So find Liu Dadao privately. Tentatively: "Eldest brother, younger brother has heard that soaking a city with water and then burning it with fire can cause the city walls to collapse. The terrain of this sea dragon hoard is dangerous, high above, and it is difficult to soak it with large water, but this heavy rain for several days has soaked the mountain rocks and soil. It's similar to blistering, but I don't know ......."

Liu Dadao's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Not bad!" There is such a way. It's just that I didn't get much of it, and I forgot about it! Fast! Someone's coming! ”

Liu Dadao immediately ordered to go down, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses acted at the same time, cutting down trees nearby, and dragging them to the city wall with branches and leaves carrying shields. Even if tens of thousands of ants carry sawdust, it can take a day to move a spectacular pile of sawdust. Not to mention tens of thousands of soldiers.

There were countless piles of timber under the mountain city, and the surrounding radius of ten miles was almost cut down. Immediately, a fire ignited. Because the trees were mostly wet, they had to be poured oil before they could be lit, but the smoke first rushed up the hill, so that the defenders on the hill had nowhere to hide, and finally had to abandon the pass and flee to a windy place.

The smoke was followed by a fire, and the Ming army had fled because of the defenders on the mountain. You can safely and boldly add firewood, and the fire is raging, day and night, until the next morning.

At this time, a general soldier had already rushed to prepare to replace Liu Dadao. Liu Dadao and Ye Xiaotian stood at the foot of the mountain, Ye Xiaotian hesitated: "This pass borrows the geographical advantage of the rock wall, and a large section of the city wall is a natural stone wall. ”

Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange loud noise, and a large hole suddenly cracked in the whole black stone rock, and a large number of stones were piled up on the mountain, and the gable was built, and the lower half was this naturally formed rock wall.

As soon as the rock wall cracked, the tremendous force tore apart the upper half of the man-made gable, and large pieces of stone fell down with a bang, but fortunately, the people who were scorched by the fire below avoided it far away, and no one was injured.

Liu Dadao was talking to the general soldier who came to replace him, and he was overjoyed when he saw this scene, and immediately picked up his heavy broadsword and shouted: "Brothers, make meritorious contributions, just today, rush!" Come on! After saying that, he didn't care about others, and rushed forward with a flying stride.

As soon as the crack in the rock opened, the fire was involved, and the crack became even bigger, and the upper part of the gable was completely destroyed, and the rocks kept falling, and finally the fire was extinguished, but the wall gable, which was originally unclimbable, became a stone slope at this time.

Liu Dadao took the lead, and rushed forward with a big knife, and the morale of the three armies was greatly boosted, and they also shouted and charged, and they rushed to the head.

The eyes of the chief soldier who came to replace Liu Ting were red: "Your grandmother, it's Lao Tzu's turn to attack the city today!" This is the first work to break the city, you Liu Dadao is embarrassed to rob me? Someone's coming! Someone's coming! Mountain! Mountain! Hurry up the mountain! ”

The chief soldier sent a herald to the outside of the mountain col to pass on his people, and when he saw Liu Dadao's people rushing up the mountain like a flood that had broken the embankment, he couldn't hold it back, so he led dozens of personal soldiers around him, and he also ran up impatiently.

The guards around Ye Xiaotian were also militants, and they all looked at Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian groaned: "Cough! A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall......"

The guards were suddenly depressed, Ye Xiaotian saw this, changed his words and said: "But ......, the dangerous wall has fallen, and Lao Tzu is not a gentleman, let's go too!" ”

The guards were overjoyed, and immediately roared and rushed up along the collapsed gable wall with Ye Xiaotian in their arms.

On June 5, the city was broken.

The defenders intended to retreat to the second pass, but Yang Chaodong ordered the defenders to shoot back with arrows, ordering them to die at the first pass rather than take half a step back. The native soldiers had no choice but to fight back, intending to recapture the fallen Tucheng.

After a big battle, some of the native soldiers were annihilated, some of the native soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and the first level of the sea dragon hoard: Tucheng, completely fell into the hands of Liu Dadao.

Mr. Ma, who was repairing the plank road in the front mountain, heard that the back mountain had broken through, and he was uncomfortable scratching his heart and liver, and he was credit! What a great achievement! It's a pity that it has nothing to do with him!

Ma Zongbing scolded a few words hatefully that Liu Dadao gave birth to a son who had no asshole, and still continued to order people to pave the plank road. Breaking the first level does not mean that you can successfully break the second level, Liu Dadao did not give the order to stop digging the plank road, and he had to continue to do it here.

"Tucheng can't afford to lose! The earth city fell, and it was not a soil city that fell, but the fighting spirit of the defenders on my mountain! Tian Nufeng beat her spirit, but her face couldn't hide her despair: "Heavenly King, Tucheng, no matter what, you have to take it back!" ”

"I know!"

Yang Yinglong's voice was empty, as if he came from a far away place. He called his second brother Yang Zhaolong, and gave a few words of command in a low voice, and Yang Zhaolong turned around.

Yang Yinglong's treasure house was opened, and after a while, Yang Zhaolong led people to carry ten large boxes from the treasure house back to the Tianwang Pavilion, and opened the lid of the box one by one, and there were silver ingots inside.

Yang Yinglong said in a deep voice: "Recruit the dead and recapture the earth city!" ”
